From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
once again, the simplistic choices are frustrating. yes, he's lame duck, but so what?; the point is to get his proposals out to the public, then profit from gop opposition. it's politics, not idealistic posturing.
The progressive community knows whats RIGHT, so OBAMA should simply say what NEEDS TO BE SAID. Sooner or later the public will ultimately realize and cave to the True Progressive Agenda geared around the middleclass, seniors and lastly all the unequality which the 99% are faced with.
As long as we have politicians who support corporate America over We the People not much will get done just look at the last few years, we have been held hostage for too long. It won't matter who becomes POTUS in the next election if we still have businessman disguised as politicians making decsions for us and our planet.
Obama's SOTU speech was pointless, but because of Republicans; he'd run into just as much opposition if the Democrats were in control. America is an oligrarcy. We lost our democratic republic while we were busy watching so-called "reality" TV or playing video games while the corporate powers-that-be sought to divide us into a many opposing camps as possible.
